Jeremiah 5:24-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
24They do not say in their heart, 'Let us now fear the Lord our God, Who gives rain in its season, Both the autumn rain and the spring rain, Who keeps for us The appointed weeks of the harvest.' 25Your wrongdoings have turned these away, And your sins have kept good away from you. 26For wicked people are found among My people, They watch like fowlers lying in wait; They set a trap, They catch people. 27Like a cage full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit; Therefore they have become great and rich.King James Version
25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

Chapter 5
24They have not said to themselves, 'Let's fear the Lord our God, who gives the seasonal rains, both autumn and spring, who guarantees to us the fixed weeks of the harvest.' 25Your guilty acts have diverted these things from you. Your sins have withheld my bounty from you, 26for wicked men live among my people. They watch like hunters lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. 27Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have grown powerful and rich.New Living Translation

They set a trap; they catch men. 27Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; therefore they have become great and rich;New International Version
